Background: Among ICU patients with COVID-19, it is largely unknown how the overall outcome and resource use have changed with time, different genetic variants, and vaccination status.
Methods: For all Danish ICU patients with COVID-19 from March 10, 2020 to March 31, 2022, we manually retrieved data on demographics, comorbidities, vaccination status, use of life support, length of stay, and vital status from medical records. We compared patients based on the period of admittance and vaccination status and described changes in epidemiology related to the Omicron variant.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on understanding the frequency and experiences of nurse-led rapid response team calls related to end-of-life issues, highlighting the importance of effective end-of-life care in acute settings.
- Conducted at a Danish university hospital, the research involved a retrospective audit of calls from 2011-2019 and interviews with ten rapid response team nurses, revealing that 12% of calls dealt with end-of-life matters, mainly due to respiratory problems.
- The findings suggest that rapid response team nurses often feel uncertain about their roles, face information gaps, and struggle with decision-making timing, emphasizing the need for improved training in end-of-life care and advanced care planning.
Background: Characteristics and care of intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19 may have changed during the pandemic, but longitudinal data assessing this are limited. We compared patients with COVID-19 admitted to Danish ICUs in the first wave with those admitted later.
Methods: Among all Danish ICU patients with COVID-19, we compared demographics, chronic comorbidities, use of organ support, length of stay and vital status of those admitted 10 March to 19 May 2020 (first wave) versus 20 May 2020 to 30 June 2021.
